Abstract :
This paper deals with the design of the two-pole filtering antenna based on SIW (substrate integrated waveguide) resonator coupled by rectangular iris to the rectangular patch antenna for body centric communication. Firstly, we present the design of the filtering antenna. Secondly, the change of the antenna parameters influenced by the proximity of the human tissue is studied; especially its gain characteristic and radiation patterns. In order to tune the antenna simplified multilayered model of human tissue is applied. Optimized antenna is then used in the complex model of the human body to verify the antenna properties.
